C                               F         CWhat is it about you, makes me feel this way?
C                     AmWhen I'm leaving you, when I'm coming home
    F                GI'm lost for words to say.
       CAnd I know your faults and failures,
          F                         CAnd the troubles that you've been through.
          Bb             DmBut it's more about what happens now
    Dm7             GAnd what were coming to.


          C            FAnd the echo from the green hills
         C                FRuns through her city streets,
         Dm                FAnd the sun that shines on England
         G                CWell it lifts the heart in me.
C   F       C   F      C F Am Dm GEngland, oh England
C   F       C   F    Dm F G CEngland, oh England


C                          F            CWhat is it about you, that took men into war?
C                       AmRows and rows of crosses: Who remembers why what for? 
F                       GThe corners of these foreign fields,
CThe dust in them concealed.
F                          COut of sight but not out of mind,
Dm7                     GDon't you know that England feels?

C                   FAnd the echo from the green hills
         C                FRuns through her city streets,
Dm              FThe rain that falls on England
G               CWell it washes care from me.

C   F       C   F      C F Am Dm GEngland, oh England
C   F       C   F    Dm F G CEngland, oh England

C                       F               CDon't make this out a battle hymn or a song of victory.
C                       AmIt's just a way to try to say what England means to me.
F                       GAnd our accents and our colours change
CFrom the city to the farmland
F                       CFrom the moor-land to the mountain,
Dm              GFrom the river to the sea.


C               FAnd the echo from the green hills
         C                FRuns through her city streets,
Dm              FThe rain that falls on England
G               CWell it washes care from me.

C   F       C   F      C F Am Dm GEngland, oh England
C   F       C   F    Dm F G CEngland, oh England


C               F               CFrom the rolling road to the winding lane,
C               AmFrom the field to factory,
F               GFrom summer's haze to winter's glaze,
CAnd all the colours in between.
F               CIt's a stillness in the evening.
Bb              DmIt's the heartbeat that I'm feeling.
Dm7             GFrom Cornwall to Northumberland,
F               CFrom the Pennines to the sea.


C               FAnd the echo from the green hills
         C                FRuns through her city streets,
Dm              FThe rain that falls on England
G               CWell it washes care from me.

C   F       C   F      C F Am Dm GEngland, oh England
C   F       C   F    Dm F G CEngland, oh England
